Wrong link, he said apache 1.x, so:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/getwet.html#Configuring_and_Starting_the_mod_perl_Server

However, he didn't actually say if he's using mod_perl, so maybe this is 
a misdirected CGI question.  Are you trying to use mod_perl, Mr. Lion, 
or just run CGI scripts?
